Sensory-Friendly Hour at Ancient Nubia Community Day

Looking for a calmer museum experience? This special hour offers families a chance to explore before the crowds arrive. You'll have free access to the Ancient Nubia exhibition, which showcases artifacts from the Kingdom of Kush—a powerful civilization along the Nile River. The exhibit features treasures excavated over a century ago, including stunning royal objects and pieces that tell the story of this fascinating ancient kingdom. In addition to browsing the exhibition at your own pace, your family can participate in hands-on art activities designed to be welcoming and engaging for all visitors. The museum will provide a social narrative ahead of time to help you and your child prepare for the visit. There's no cost to attend—just register in advance. If you have accessibility questions or need more information, reach out to Molly Hull at mhull@ncartmuseum.org.
